In Utah because they can't get enough of the drugs for lethal injections. This is because they are made in Europe and European governments ban their use and presumably their export.

What do you think about this?

I really can't engage in a debate about which method is best when the whole idea is so unacceptable

And either would better than the electric chair, IMO.

Jihadi John does he deserve the death penalty?

Yes magpie - sorry, but I am not in the least ambivalent about that.

Magpie123 No! he should not be executed! "Jihadi John" would welcome the death penalty as a it would make him martyr. Just lock him up for evermore as a danger.

Good news today is that support for the death penalty in Britain has dropped below 50% for the first time.

I agree neelie, lock him up and don't make his life very comfortable. Keep him away from anyone he can influence and maybe bombard him with what is good and kind from the Koran.

Lock him up and throw away the key......
